6G Celicas Forums

i was asking about the bracket holding the 4" speaker - although i look again i see that there is a 4" speaker in the photo so i'm guessing he got them from a scrapyard or something. Thanks though.

Out of interest - i see that you had to cut the tweeter holes yourself which suggests that you did not have the premium system but then you have the bracket for the third speaker. Does this mean that the adapters are just sat in the door waiting to be used?

Hi all,

I have just started a little project that i have been meaning to get on with pretty much since i got the car about a year ago and that is a neat and tidy boot install. I am going to build a box to house my 12" sub and also a pair of 6X9's at a later date. It will fit between the two suspension towers and be pretty much flush with them (I say pretty much, the plastic surround in the boot is more than vertical and i want to at least have a small angle less than square) and will be the full height of the back seats, replacing the parcel shelf. I will also add a hinged section on the back so as the parcel shelf is still usable.

I want to port each of the seperate cabinets. The main port that will be a rectangle of the equivalent area of a 3" circular port which will sit between the two 6X9's just behind the rear headrests on the top of the box. I am not sure as to what frequency to attempt to tune this to - I'm thinking between 20 and 25Hz as i like bass that you feel almost as much as bass you can hear or is that too low? To be frank both the sub and amp are nothing to shout about but will be replaced in future so a box that will work with mainstream mid-range subs is also something i need - what frequencies do most subs like to be ported at?

I have found a port calculator online which will tell me the required length of port based on the frequency i want to tune to but i also notice in its output data that it gives a volume for the port which leads me onto the more indepth question - can i simply use the port volume and build it angled so that it is shorter but still seperates the same amount of air as the uniform port of the length given by the port calculator? Hope you can follow that!!

Also I want to port the top cabinets sideways into the very top of the main port as to keep the visible surface of the box as clean as possible. I will have them offset from each other to try and stop some turbulence but do you think it would make the box sound funny in any way having the 6X9's ported into the opening of the sub port? I dont understnad enough about the waves enough to think if it would effect the sound - physics A-level wasnt in depth-enough!!

Anyway, my last question... this is easy after the other two! Does anyone know the angle between the boot floor and the back of the seats?

Thanks for reading if you still are - i will draw diagrams if people cant follow my descriptions.
Cheers

great idea... love it

must admit looks 100X better now

never thought about re-doing the headliner - i have black leather interior and the headliner is a grey material, would look much better black imo... was the headliner easy to remove?

i have to agree with everyone else here - something must be up... i have a 3sge celica (2.0L, 173hp) and with the conversion to US mpg i get 25 and most of the time i'm going about 2 miles up and down the road to my place of work

looks good
i wanted to do similar but the surrounds for tweeters that came with my components were too big - not the actual surround but the lip was going to stick out the side, had to flush mount in the end

i have measured up for a similar box...

with 90cm top, 80cm bottom, 32cm height and 35cm bottom depth and 25cm top depth it should fit perfectly between the sus towers and give around 2 cuft... dividable into 2 X 1cuft which is about right for a 12" sub, no?

hey gottoyota... gotbootspace?!

looks like they'd kick out fair though!!

you notice any difference with/without the cap?

unlucky... you sure you need more power?!

anyway - you feel any difference with the new intake? looking at following the same upgrade path as yourself (intake, cat-back system and then on from there)

i too have one on my 3sge...

wow, looking at those prices makes me wish i lived over there... i'm looking at KYB prices and they are about the same in £££!!!

arent all mr2 turbos in the uk imports?

anyway, if you cant park a 6gc i.e. manoeuvre at <5mph what the hell you doing buying a turbo'd car?!

filling it up at £1.07 a litre

thats about it really

isnt it unsprung mass?

those tyres arent too far removed from stock tyres size wise so dont worry about it

tell me about it mate - check out the profile pics i put up yesterday, you would never know it was about 2 in the afternoon!!!

nope, means the same here too!!

anyway sucks about the crash - watch out for delayed concussion if you hit your head

As of right now, no job... well, helping out at a local farm.

Currently in the midst of setting up a computer business - there are a LOT of clueless idiots here in south west england.

all these interior LEDs are 3V correct? i'm thinking about changing mine to all blue (how original!!) but hooking up a circuit that would switch on a red LED when the lighter is in use... should look pretty cool imo

how useful!!

like has been said - not my cup of tea but i'd stop and stare if i saw it around. Got a vid with some moozak?

lol, the first pic in that profile is a classic!!

car looks pretty nice too - although what about having the split down the water-runs on the roof and the corresponding lines on the bonnet/boot?

skim reading is bad... mmmkay?

v nice... some of thos photos look like something out of a video game!!

just need to work on those orange thingies on the side and front imo

easier and cheaper dont usually go hand in hand!! but i'll take your word for it... although a scrappy/ebay CT26 would do me since not running insane boost and other parts shouldnt run to as much as a whole swap surely? This is all a little pie in the sky at the moment anyhow so i'm not looking to run out and blow a wadge of cash tomorrow so plenty of time for research

although its tax rebate time soon, no?!



cheers... we'll see what i decide when i have the £££!! theres plenty to do before boost anyway - and thats if i do, of course.
